Media accreditation advisory for ICC World Test Championship Final
Media Advisory
The application window for the ICC World Test Championship Final 2025 is now open. This is an online process that can be completed by clicking here and is only for print media, websites, non-rights holding (NRH) TV and radio broadcasters.
Those who have covered one of the following ICC Events will be given preference for accreditation:
- ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025
- ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024
- ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024
- ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023
- ICC World Test Championship Final 2023
Though the record of attending previous ICC events (the ones mentioned above or other ICC events) will be considered, please note that attending previous events does not guarantee you media accreditation. All applications will be assessed thoroughly keeping in mind the media organisations, the individual applicants and media spaces available at venues.
Preference will be given to media from international agencies, Australia, South Africa and England, but some journalists from other countries may also be accredited.
Members of the media have until 17h00 Dubai time (GMT +4) on 30 April to register for accreditation. As part of the process, the media will need to upload the following documents:
- A colour headshot photograph with a plain background like a passport photo
- Letter of approval/assignment from your Editor/Commissioning Editor
- Passport/National Identity Card/Driving License
- A sample of past work (from the most recent ICC event, if attended).
Additionally, photographers will need to upload a Public Liability Insurance Policy. For any clarifications regarding the same, please write to accred.wtc@ecb.co.uk.
The ICC reserves the right to approve/reject/request further information on all applications in its sole discretion and without providing reasons for doing so.
If your application is approved and you need a visa letter, please write to accred.wtc@ecb.co.uk clearly stating your requirements including your full name as in passport, passport number and the Embassy/Consulate you will be applying to.
As at previous ICC events, NRH camerapersons will be accredited, but only reporters will be allowed in on match days.
However, to facilitate the NRHs, who will be allowed to cover any pre-match activities, all pre-match and post-match media conferences will be uploaded to the ICC’s Online Media Zone.
Please note that no warnings will be given for any infringements of the Terms and Conditions and accreditation cards will be revoked straight away.
If you have any problems with the accreditation portal, please write to accred.wtc@ecb.co.uk.
